This is like what I imagine twitter to be, in virtual internet reality.


Also? Has anybody watched Shiri Appleby's web series? Dating Rules from My Future Self? It's actually super adorable. (And well, she's super adorable.) And Fran Kranz is in a couple of episodes, which is - not going to lie - half of the reason I watched it. (Oh, Topher.) It's pretty short and I'm kind of wondering if they're trying for a pilot or something? I don't know, but it was worth the watch. Here's a promo:

OH MY GOD I REMEMBER THAT WB PROMO LIKE IT WAS YESTERDAY. I don't even give a fuck, I still think it's like the coolest thing ever, lol. Nothing will ever be that cool again ;P Dammit, I really need a P/Jo icon.

I am now totally going to check out that web series. Although "from the creators of Gossip Girl" is giving me pause, lol.

Hahah, agreed. I think they should do promos like this on the CW, except I only watch like 2 CW shows, Hart of Dixie and The Vampire Diaries. But they should still do them. Come on!

Yeah I don't watch Gossip Girl, but after watching this web series, it doesn't seem anything like it, so there's that. Haha. You should definitely give it a shot.

They really should! BRAND YOURSELF, CW. Make yourself the cool place for teens to go!

Gahhhh, why did Fran Kranz have to be the sorbet?!?! Hahahahaha.

Yes, TAKE OUR ADVICE CW! (And also maybe have some better shows. NO OFFENSE TO ANYONE PRESENT. But really!)

Hey I was okay with him being anything. MORE FRAN PLEASE.

I liked it. It was just hipster enough to be charming without being smug.

Hehe, I'm not sure what that means, but it's good!

Fran Kranz, you say? I'm intrigued... I'll have to check that show out when I get home tonight. (Although exactly when that might be depends on this so-called snow thing we're getting tonight and we might have to close early)

Yeah definitely check it out. It's super cute. Yay for possibly closing early!

ALL THE NOSTALGIA, OH MY GOD. I still remember how hard I feel in love with The CW in 1999 <3 NEARLY HALF MY LIFE AGO, WHAT.

The WB was a huge part of my life as well. It's so weird to think that advert is from like 12 years ago. Crazypants!

And now I'm suddenly wanting to watch Dawson's Creek and Felicity and Roswell and everything again. It's funny to watch that commercial and realize two future Oscar nominees/winners are in it (and the future Mrs. Cruise!). It's like, BWAH-HA-HA, WB, bet you never expected that to happen! It's also sad that I remember all those shots of Keri Russell are actually from an episode of Felicity and they just stuck them in there like she was actually at this commercial shoot. lol, my brain is pathetic.

Also, in last week's Fringe, Olivia says to Peter: "I remember everything." and I had a total Pacey/Joey flashback and I had to wonder if they did it on purpose!

Yes yes yes. Roswell especially for some reason. At least the first season. Wait who are the oscar nominees/winners? I know Michelle Williams. Who else? (I probably should re-watch the promo just to see if I can figure it out myself, but I am lazy!)

I had no idea abut the Keri Russell images. I wonder if there are any others like that. Hmmm. NGL I kind of secretly ship Alyssa Milano and Josh Jackson after re-watching that thing, lol. I DUNNO WHY.

Also, Hahaha I wonder if they even realized. Or if Josh even realized. Somebody on that show has gotta be like "bwahahaha, Pacey/Joey FOREVER!!!!"

Jamie Foxx! :) I almost can't believe he used to be on the WB.

lol on Josh and Alyssa Milano. You know, I could totally see that working in an aesthetic sense.

I bet you in the writer's room some 30 year old female staff writer was sitting there smiling with glee over sneaking that one in there.

Wow.

*headdesk*

I can't believe I forgot Jamie Foxx. I totally would have gotten that if I had actually went and re-watched the promo though! In my own defense. Haha.

Right? There totally had to be.

I totally loved 'Dating rules from my future self' - I thought it was really cute and I wish they would make a real series out of it instead of just a web series! Totally watched it cause Shiri is adorable and Fran Kranz and Taylor Kinney was in it :D

I miss the 2000 shows of the WB!!! That commercial was so awesome <3

Wasn't it just unexpectedly delightful?

They really should try to do more with it. I'm crossing my fingers.

It's awesome! It took me a couple of episodes to really fall for it, but I'm up to ep. 6 now and I'm just like STARS IN MY EYES. Shiri Appleby is so freaking adorable. I've missed that lady. And Franz! *fans self* I imagine he was over the moon about playing the motorcycle-riding dude, he's usually the geek. My only gripe is that they made me ship Martin Starr/Appleby like whoa and then revealed that he apparently has a kid and a wife.

I think I'm going to do a write up about the show for W&F this week! Thank you for reccing it. <333

Awwww. Hehe. Shiri is quite possibly the cutest ever. It makes me miss Life Unexpected so much.

I totally shipped Martin's character with hers! But he's all happily married and stuff. No fair! hehe.

Link me to your write-up when you're done!

Right? Just. Guh. That promo says so much about me as a person. Hahaha. (Okay pushing it, but I feel like you, my people, understand what I mean.)

I think the best think about that WB commercial is like all the ways you want to make AU things where all the universes exist and the characters know each other. Either in their WB shows or whatever the actor is in now.

Omg Shiri, so cute. You know it's very cute from the trailer, really. I'll have to watch, I love her.

Ahahahaha yes! In the comments above I was just saying how I kind of want to secretly ship Alyssa Milano and Josh Jackson after re-watching that. Not their characters, just them, lol.

Definitely give "future self" a watch. It was well worth the time spent watching! Her BFFs are the best and really were what made it unique. Also Martin Starr's character.
